MARINE DRIVE MANOR is a self-catering beach house situated on the beach front in the tranquil, seaside village of Vermont, a mere 10-minute drive from the popular coastal town of Hermanus.
In 1925 Vermont Seaside Township Ltd was established and the scheme was laid out on land acquired from the University of Stellenbosch.
The house is one of the few houses in Vermont dating to this period. It was built as a holiday house for Christman Joel Krige, second Speaker of the South African Parliament (1915 – 1925), in 1926.
In 1996 the house was converted into a guesthouse. It was during this period that changes were made to the house, including the enclosure of the stoep (porch) and the insertion of ensuite bathrooms.
From the early 1970s a number of well-known South African painters, poets and writers came to live in Onrus and Vermont, including Jan Rabie, Marjorie Wallace, Uys Krige, Elsa Joubert, Gregoire Boonzaaier, Chris Barnard (writer) and Cecil Higgs.
The house, situated meters from the Jan Rabie Tidal Pool, is arranged around a central hall and an enclosed veranda. It has four bedrooms, all ensuite and sleeps eight people. Three bedrooms have hotel style king size beds, and the fourth bedroom has twin beds. The kitchen is fully equipped with a stove, microwave, 2 x fridge/freezers, dishwasher, 25L air fryer and separate box freezer in the laundry. The laundry is fitted with a top loader washing machine and tumble dryer.
There are two dining tables in the large dining room with seating for 16 persons and a fireplace.
Separate from the main house is a cottage with two bedrooms and a bathroom, large living area and kitchenette with microwave and kettle. There is sleeping space for two more persons in the large living room with an additional two beds suitable for children.
To further indulge, this house sports a swimming pool and terrace area with a large table for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Why the $elect Stays initiative?
- Encourage and boost local tourism through making holidays more affordable.
This is achieved by offering locals a 15% saving. The same 15% that would have left our shores had it been paid as commission to an International Booking site. - Reduce the dependancy on large International Booking sites.
This is achieved by building up a loyal following of verified users who we will market to on an exclusive and regular basis to maximise the opportunity. - Ensure more money stays within local tourism to benefit us all.
It is no secret that the large International Booking sites pay no or very little tax to South Africa or Namibia. By taking back a little more control we boost our own economy, and in particular, our local tourism. This is good for us all.

Terms & Conditions
- The property (you) must offer the 15% saving to all verified members
- Verification is done automatically at the time of an enquiry. It is at the property’s discretion whether to offer the saving for a telephonic enquiry. (As you have no means to verify the membership number, it is advisable to get them to do a formal enquiry so they can be verified).
- If the property is currently running a "Special" greater than 15% then the "Special" price will apply. (No further savings needs to be offered). EXCEPT in the case where the "Special" is lower than 15%. In that case the 15% will apply.
Example: A property offering a 10% discount, must offer an additional 5% discount to valid members - so they get a total 15% saving. - The property must offer valid members the saving all year round. (Properties that pick and chose in which seasons to participate run the risk of being removed from the programme completely. Allowing selective participation defeats the integrity of this initiative).
- The property must not inflate the price before the 15% is applied. Prices displayed should be the rack rate. (The official or advertised price of a room).
- The property must honour any bookings made while the property was participating as a $elect Stays property.
- The property must honour the agreement and the spirit in which the initiative is designed to benefit local tourism.
